MPM-G2 Foundations
MPM - Load Sharing – Why is it beneficial?
Reduced Foundation Size
Load is spread over multiple pipes/piers
More Pipes/Piers = Less Load Per Pipe/Pier
Foundation Size is also Related to Site and Install Criteria
Cheaper Pipe/Labor:
Smaller Pipe Sizes Used
Pipe Usually Sold by Weight
Smaller Pipe More Available than Larger Pipe
Smaller Pipe/Piers = Less Labor
Increased Ground Clearance
Load Sharing allows for Taller Installs
Can used as a Shade Structure
MPM-G2 - Technical Discussion
How Do the Different Design Criteria Relate? Ground Snow Load vs. Ground Clearance vs. Max Tilt Angle
Ground Clearance
Affects Overall Height of System
Taller Systems require Stronger Pipe and Bigger Foundations
Can be used to Elevate rack above Snow Accumulation
Max Tilt Angle
Steeper Tilts Increase Snow Slough Value
Must Have Ground Clearance Above Snow Levels
Steeper Tilts are Affected by the Elements More Severely
MPM-G2 - Technical Discussion
Relationships Between Criteria
MPM4 is Unavailable in Excessive Conditions
High Snow Loads and Low Ground Clearances
High Wind Speeds and Snow Loads
Low Tilt Angles and High Snow Loads
Pier Frequency
More Piers in Excessive Conditions
Excessive Wind/Snow Require More to Support Rack
High Wind Speeds = More Pressure
Square Footage of Array Requires More Support
